49ers up 27-14 after two quick touchdowns

Would Alex Smith been better in the first half? That’s the question we asked at halftime, and Colin Kaepernick answered with his blitzkrieg drive to start the second half. Kaepernick completed a 41-pass to Delanie Walker to get into the red zone. Then rolled out and completed a 5-yard touchdown pass to running back Frank Gore.

Does Alex Smith make those plays? It’s an open question. More importantly, the 49ers are up 21-14 after the Kaepernick-led six-play, 80-yard touchdown drive.

Donte Whitner put the 49ers up two scores with an interception return for the 49ers’ second defensive score; Whitner picked off a tipped pass off the hands of wide receiver Marques Colston.
